Icons

Adding icons to your resume is a simple way to add some design without overdoing it. Instead of just displaying plain text across the top of the page, Rezi can add small icons next to details like your email address, phone number, LinkedIn profile, website, and location. It’s a nice touch that doesn’t take away from the ATS-friendly formatting.

Before adding icons, create your ATS-friendly application with our free AI Resume Builder. We guide you through the process with AI suggestions and personalized feedback.

While you’re there, it’s also a good time to explore the other customization features from the preview page. You can adjust everything from fonts and spacing to templates and accent colors, then use tools like AI Keyword Targeting and your Rezi Score to make sure your resume is as strong as possible before sending it off.

3. Customize and improve your resume

The Finish Up & Preview tab includes more than contact icons. It’s where you can customize your resume’s overall appearance and make sure it’s ready for employers.

Feel free to explore several formatting options, including:

Before downloading your resume, it’s also worth taking advantage of Rezi’s built-in review tools. Our AI Keyword Targeting feature compares your resume against a job description and highlights keywords you might have missed, helping you tailor your resume for specific roles. 

You should also check your Rezi Score, which provides detailed feedback on your resume and points out opportunities to strengthen it before you apply.
